Investing in Life Insurance

Buy Best Life Insurance Online


Buying life insurance can be a crucial decision. Some people may choose to buy a cover early in life. Others may leave it until later. If you are thinking of investing in a life insurance policy, here are 10 points you may want to know.


1. Necessity: Investing in a life insurance policy can make complete sense if you are taking care of other people. Life insurance provides more than the death benefit. It may help you prepare for any uncertainties. But what if you plan to remain single? Or, you do not have any future liabilities? Then you may think again before buying a life insurance policy.


2. Purpose: You may feel investing in life insurance is a fundamental need. Then consider the purpose of buying your policy. For example, do you expect your policy to pay for your child's education in case of an uncertainty? Or, do you want it as a security for your high-risk job?


3. Coverage: Individuals need different insurance covers. What is the amount of cover you need? Your annual income may not be the ideal figure to calculate your desired cover. You may want to consider other important factors before deciding. What is your age, profession, and medical condition? How many people are dependent on you? What are your financial goals?


4. Category: If you are clear about the purpose of your life insurance and the amount of cover you need, it will help you choose the category of insurance you want to buy. You can opt for either a term insurance cover or a whole insurance cover. Do you want to pay a fixed premium rate for a specific period of cover? Then a term insurance is best for you.


5. Debt: When you decide to invest in a life insurance policy, you have to know how much you are able to pay. So you may want to consider any debts you already have. These existing debts could hamper your ability to pay the insurance premium on time. This delay could end your policy. Most insurance companies may also increase the premium when you renew your policy.


6. Investment: You may not want to ignore the investment element while purchasing a life insurance cover. A unit-linked insurance policy (ULIP) provides for death benefit and financial security. It may also provide an opportunity for your investment to grow by linking it to the stock market.


7. Protection: Your life insurance policy may pay for unexpected events such as death, disability, and sickness. It could provide protection to your loved ones by reducing the effects of loss of income due to death. You can even draw a loan against your life insurance policy. Many banks and financial institutions accept it as a guarantee.


8. Savings: Investing in a life insurance policy could lead to savings. A term life insurance could leave you with cash in hand. You could use this money for other investments. For example, you could pay a certain amount of premium for a specific time. You could then use the rest of the insurance amount to buy a child plan. You may accumulate cash value with permanent life insurance and get tax-deferred growth.


9. Tax benefits: Life insurance premiums are exempt from tax up to a certain amount. The claim amount received by the beneficiary is also tax-free. But each policy is different. So it is important for you to know how much you will be paying to keep your policy practical. Sometimes the cost may be more than the tax benefits.


10. Terms: Each life insurance policy has different terms and conditions. You need to understand and read the complete policy document before signing to buy. You may want to know the future impact on the premium. You may also want to know if there is any bonus or cash value that you could withdraw in the near future.

Mutual Fund Review: Religare Tax Plan

Tax Plan is one of the better performing schemes from Religare Asset Management. Existing investors can redeem their investment after three years. But given the scheme's performance, they can continue to stay invested   Given the mandated lock-in period of three years, tax saving schemes give the fund manager the leeway to invest in ideas that may take time to nurture. Religare Tax Plan's investment ideas revolve around 'High Growth', which the fund manager has aimed to achieve by digging out promising stories/businesses in the mid-cap segment. Within the space, consumer staples has been the centre of attention for the last couple of years and can be seen as one of the key reasons for the scheme's outperformance as compared to the broader market. It has, however, tweaked its focus and reduced exposure in midcaps as they were commanding a high premium. The strategy seems to have worked as it returned a 22% gain last year. Religare Tax Plan has outperformed BSE 100...

Mutual Fund Review: L&T MIP

        This fund won't deliver chart-topping returns. However, over the long run it will not disappoint and end up beating the category average The fund has seen numerous changes at the helm. When Katare took over in October 2007, he made dramatic alterations to the portfolio. On the equity side, he increased the number of stocks to 11 (November) from 2 (September). On the debt side, he added Certificates of Deposit (CDs), while earlier Treasury Bills (T-Bills) and cash accounted for 88 per cent (September 2007) of the portfolio. In November 2007 he exited T-Bills for good. The results impressed. In the last quarter of 2007, it delivered 12.83 per cent (category average: 6.12%). In 2008, the first quarter performance was nothing short of impressive, a return of 9.93 per cent (category average: -3.97%). While other players increased their portfolio maturity, Katare maintained a low maturity profile. While the average maturity of the category was 2.81 years that quarter, th...

Reconfigure investments to reap benefits in DTC

    Investing for tax benefits under the new Direct Taxes Code ( DTC ) will be different in several ways from what taxpayers are familiar with right now. This will require some reconfiguration in the nature of investments for the investor and they need to be ready to tackle the changes that will come about once the new DTC is implemented from financial year 2012-13.One area of interest for most taxpayers is the manner in which they can extract the maximum tax benefit. Here is a look at the situation and also how it changes from the existing position. Basic deduction: At present, there is a deduction of Rs 1 lakh that is available for an individual when they make investments under specified areas such as provident fund, public provident fund, national savings certificates, equity linked savings scheme and insurance premium, among others. This benefit is available under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. This has been replaced by a new Section 68 under the DTC where there is a deduct...

ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund

 ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing in a portfolio that is investing in equities and related securities as well as fixed income and money market securities. The approximate allocation to equity would be in the range of 60-80 per cent with a minimum of 51 per cent, and the approximate debt allocation is 40-49 per cent, with a minimum of 20 per cent. An impressive show in the last couple of years has propelled this fund from a three-star to a four-star rating. The fund has traditionally featured a high equity allocation, hovering at well over 70 per cent, which is higher than the allocations of the peers. But in the last one year, the allocation has been moderated from 78-79 per cent levels to 66-67 per cent of the portfolio. ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund appears to practise some degree of tactical allocation based on market valuations. Within equities, well over two-thirds of the allocation is parked i...

Mutual Funds: Past Performance is not just everything

Many a times your agent / distributor / relationship manager tries to push you some mutual fund schemes by enticing you with a typical sales pitch…"Sir, this scheme has generated 20% returns in the past one year." And this sales pitch often gets louder when the market conditions have been favourable. Some of the agents / distributors / relationship managers have another unique way of luring you. They say, "Sir / madam this scheme has been awarded the best scheme award in the past by a leading business channel"... And hearing all these sales talks you investors very often get attracted and sign a cheque in favour of the respective scheme.   But please ask yourself do you hear these sales talks when the capital markets turn turbulent? Why is it so that your agent / distributor / relationship manager avoids talking to you during turbulent times of the capital markets and doesn't boast about returns generated by the respective funds or awards being conferred on t...
